My New Title

I changed the title of the blog. When I switched from Blogger to WordPress I couldn’t find a title that fits me. I wanted something that would convey travel or a journey. One of the choices was wanderlust but quite a few people uses that and I felt the word has lost its specialness. The new title “In-Transit” came to me while I was at an airport. I have noticed a long time ago how funny some of my clearest thinking come to me while I’m waiting for my flight. It came to me while I thinking about airlines moving people like packages and I started thinking about all our containers that went out at year end. Somehow the image of checking your package on UPS or FedEx came to mind and how it often show “in-transit.”

Turns out the The New York Times’ travel blog uses this title as well… so I added a hyphen as oppose to “in transit” as two words. I’m pretty happy about the title. Of course if I something better comes to mind I’ll probably change it again. It reflects the most important aspect of my life right now w/ the family manufacturing business. It reflects my feeling of progressing towards the next big checkpoint in life. There’s a line from the movie Rounders, something to the sort of “Life is on the wire, the rest is waiting.” The original quote was from Karl Wallenda, a tight rope walker. Everybody has their own interpretation of the line. To me it means taking chances and doing what you are passionate about. You’re waiting for that next high (not drug related, or high on life if you like that expression. I don’t). We’re all just biding our time in the cubicle for that next big trip.

I didn’t include this in the New Year resolution, but I promise to make the blog more interesting with more pictures and links. It’s just that… well, it takes more time to do that.
